Jeanie C. Riley Ankeny Valley PTA
No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did
It happened just this way
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
Bobby Gentry Ode to Billy Joe
Mama said to me, Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
